Well, I was watching Myth Busters, and they were using these shockwatch things to test pressure of shooting fish in a barrel (not live fish of course). Anyways, I wonder if anyone has ever used these to ship fish or corals or anything.

Basically, it turns red if they are "mishandled" or dropped.

Neat thanks for sharing. Could have come in really handy when my mom's family dishes were being sent over as many were broken.

Shame that the dishes were all destroyed. :/ They have the labels that stick onto the outside of the box, which would basically tell the delivery employees that they really do need to be careful. They're not too expensive either. I found 50 of them on ebay for $30, but I'm not sure what sensitivity they were.
